Popis - POOR LITTLE THINGS [VINYL]:
A limited pressing of the debut self titled EP from this Australian duo whose mission is to rock and nothing more. If Suzi Quatro, Malcolm Young and Dee Dee Ramone had a band it would sound something like this. Stripped down, raw and melodic. You get what you pay for with 'Rock'n'Roller,' which leads off this EP from Bern, Switzerland-based Australians Poor Little Things. Around the core duo of vocalist Tina Jackson and multi-instrumentalist Dave "Talon" Jackson (also of Australia's Rollerball) on guitar, bass, synth and percussion is Talon's The Marlboro Men bandmate Fernando Marlboro on drums, and together the band presents five tracks of remember-when-rock-rocked-style groove. Fueled by '70s accessibility and a mentality that seems to be saying it's okay to play big rooms, like arenas, cuts like 'Drive' seem prime for audience participation, and 'Break Another Heart' gives a highlight performance from Tina while 'About Love' showcases a more laid back take. They close with the 6:37 'Street Cheetah,' which struts appropriately, and end with a percussive finish on a fadeout repeating the title line. As a showcase of their style and songwriting chops, Poor Little Things shows significant promise, sure, but it's also pretty much already got everything it needs for a full-length album.
